3 servings

  • ½ lb private selection argentine shrimp, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 4 cups mesclun greens
  • ½ cup quinoa, cooked
  • ½ cup cherry tomato, halved
  • ½ cup avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup chickpeas, roasted
  • 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced, white part only
  • 1 tablespoon shallot
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Add the shrimp to a mesh strainer set in a bowl of cool water and let sit for about 10 minutes to defrost.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the defrosted shrimp, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
  • Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until pink, opaque, and firm. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a liquid measuring cup, combine the shallot, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully incorporated. While whisking, slowly stream in the olive oil until completely emulsified.
  • To assemble the salad, add the mesclun greens to a large bowl. Top with the cooked shrimp, quinoa, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chickpeas, and green onions. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, then toss to combine.
  • Enjoy!
